  • How is having more options a problem?

    I’m playing games that came out 10 hears ago, and I have a backlog of many years and I couldn’t be happier with it.

    It’s better than no having anything to play.

    At a industry level we all know that gamedev is not a great career. Specially if you are indie the most common profit is 0. But it’s ok. You can do it just for the love of it as I do. I spent time making games just because I love it. No everything have to turn a profit.







  • I feel there is a curve there. A stranger seems bad, once you know them they seem good, once you really know they you understand they are bad again.

    There is a lot of facade in people’s relationships that can hide the true faces of people as soon as you get close to them.

    The classical example is the group of people going together to a party and having fun all together but when they return to their homes they start gossiping and thrashing on each other on their backs.

    Sometimes I think that the deranged behavior we use to see online is more true to the true nature of people than in-person social iterations. As Oscar Wilde said, people are the most true to themselves when they are behind a mask.

    At the end of the day the world is full of misery. And this misery is caused by people. People whose close friends and family surely can swear on how “good people” they are.

    I suppose some people could feel comfort in the facade. Believing is real and letting it soothe you. But maybe OP has reach a level of awareness of the truth in human nature that they will just see through that facade and won’t be able to feel comfort in the play.
